FADE IN:
EXT. UNSEELIE COURTYARD - EVENING
Low light. FOOTSTEPS are heard over the sounds of INSECTS. In the distance there are VOICES from the distant CELEBRATION.
Garden-wide view, one shadowed, male, approaches a shadowed female. Screen cuts to the feet of the pair, pans up no further than their hands. Light catches embroidery of elaborate organically patterned fabric on women’s dress. Man’s robes are stiff leathers. They stand side-by-side looking over the garden.
LAUFREY
Dangerous times for a lady such as you to be here, I think.
FRIGGA
I’ve braved places far more treacherous to me than this, your grace. I reside in one.
Laufrey chuckles, folding his arm.
LAUFREY
I suppose it’s true. There are very few places to hide this evening.
On the far side, Frigga clutches the side of her gown. Speaks calmly.
EXT. SEELIE GROUNDS - FOREST
Man runs through woods. BREATHING is echoed. The sound of LEAVES rustling with every movement. He’s being chased.
In the tree line the SILLUETTE of the person in pursuit can be seen.
EXT. UNSEELIE COURTYARD
FRIGGA
(Questioning) You’ve kept your word?
LAUFREY
My philosophy may differ from your (sarcastic) enlightened ways. (Normal tone) But I bleed the same as you. My word is my word.
EXT. SEELIE GROUNDS- FOREST
Figure being persuaded comes to a CLIFF with a small opening. VINES grow across his escape route.
The boots of the assailant fall into view as they hit the ground. The form being chased pants. We see his chest rise and fall heavily.
EXT. UNSEELIE COURTYARD
FRIGGA
Then he will not know?
EXT. SEELIE GROUNDS- FOREST
Assassin pulls back their hand. Thorns grow from their fingers. We see the fear, and reflection, in the target’s eyes. Assassin releases the thorns. They hit the target’s arm he uses to block. His YELL is echoed as the scene transitions.
EXT. UNSEELIE COURTYARD.
Laufrey’s smirk can be seen as he GRUNTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
EXT. SEELIE GROUNDS- FOREST
Black marks like the vines crawl up the target’s arm as he rips away his sleeve to follow the poison’s line in agony. The vines stop, bulge and disappear. We finally see LOKI’s face, puzzled.
Pull back to see him against the cave. The VINES have created the UNSEELIE SEAL behind him against the cliff.
LAUFREY (V.O.)
Not because of I.
